### 2/5 — New Game Framework - Terrible Network Connection Issues

*2026-04-20, version 4.12.0*

I feel like the developers were on the right track with their reboot of the game in its new format.  However, the game falls flat due to network connection issues.  When trying to play the game and connecting to a battlefield, it disconnects the connection more times than not.  This could be a great game, but for this connection reason they only get 2 stars.  

Please fix the game and I’ll rerate the game. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Still cheating going on

*2026-04-20, version 4.12.0*

Iv only just come back to play again and it’s still a cheating game Iv got a t6 Centaurus nearly maxed and I get the newest tank just one shotting me while I shoot back and it doesn’t even scratch them,do you think that is fair?sort your game out ffs

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-04-19, version 4.12.0*

CoolFish appears to have lost their way. They would benefit from creating a review panel of experienced players to test drive their updates before release.

The latest update has caused massive confusion and dramatically decreased players’ ability to score points.

### 1/5 — Latest Update: Version: v4.12.0 . 16-4-2026

*2026-04-19, version 4.12.0*

Latest update : OMG

What have you done to this game. Prior to the latest update I could at least compete a-bit against the bots and other similar status tanks, in most team games !

Now with this Latest Update: Version: v4.12.0 . 16-4-2026.. Every team game I am forced to play against a super tank like the ‘Cancer tank’ or an even stronger tanks.

I only have Centaurus level 6 tank, and been playing this game from the start.

Impossible to play it now, no way to compete or win unless I pay hundreds of pounds to try to buy a much stronger tank.

Coolfish this latest update has finished the game for me, after spending what seems like a lifetime playing and investing in this game.

Now forced to stop playing what was my favourite game. Will not be playing anymore. 

Will be deleting this game in 7 days unless there is a miraculous update back to the way it was before today 16.4.26

### 5/5 — Grus

*2026-04-17, version 4.12.0*

### 1/5 — New interface

*2026-04-17, version 4.12.0*

Terrible

### 1/5 — iron Force

*2026-04-17, version 4.12.0*

Latest update has better graphics but drops are very problematic and frequent. Upsetting especially for battles where you bought diamonds and they don’t reimburse you.

### 1/5 — Long time player

*2026-07-27, version 4.13.0*

Game sucks.money trap. stay away.

### 1/5 — Could be a fun game if the creators would fix the bugs

*2026-06-30, version 4.13.0*

Been playing this game for around 13 years, they only seem to cater to the high paying players. They have no problem adding more ways to spend money, but now I can’t play the game due to all the lag issues. Got my 30 minute play time reward and only had time for 2 battles. The rest of the time I spent waiting for the thinking wheel and/or frozen screens and having to reset the game over and over again. And when I do get into battle, I’m put against the highest player in the game who is getting 50 kills in one round while I’m stuck lagging and can’t even get a shot off, and I got lucky enough to be put into battle with them twice. Or, you get into battle and are being hit by invisible players, you can see them on the map and the red dot shows up when you aim at them, but the player doesn’t show up until HALF WAY THROUGH THE GAME! No, this is not a tech, this is a cheat or a glitch. 
And the ranking and matching, especially in tournaments, is a joke! Unless you have spent well over $2000, you aren’t going to win anything! You’ll just be a sheep in the background for the high paying players to collect from. You will have to spend around $600 for a top tier tank but then you have to spend way more to get the good techs and upgrade the tanks or own the mastery. 
This game was pretty bad when I first started, catering to the Chinese, but it has only gotten worse now. I keep falling asleep waiting for the game screens to load or unfreeze. Took me over an hour the other day just to collect items from the Home Screen of my 2 accounts, and that included zero play time. 
And then it also takes your fuel when it lags while trying to enter a match but matching is unsuccessful. 
Then, this latest update, they are only making the strongest stronger! But they sure can’t add any new tanks for the minimal paying players, you have to spend over $200 for a t5, which is smaller than my t6 and will walk all over me too.
I have been a loyal player for a very long time now and I would love for this game to work properly because it is fun, but I can’t spend my life savings on a game, and that’s what it takes to have a top tier tank. 
If you don’t fix your issues and don’t start catering to the smaller players, your going to lose any chances of new business and players. I am appalled at how greedy this game’s creators have become! And it is always the same issues, they just get worse and worse with every update. Either fix this game, get rid of the cheaters, and make it more fair for the lower ranked or you will lose this loyal customer, and I’m sure many more as you already have!

### 1/5 — Heavily Manipulated and Unfair

*2026-06-06, version 4.12.0*

After playing this game for several years, I have become convinced that many aspects of the game are artificially manipulated. Matchmaking, battle outcomes, and progression often feel engineered rather than based on skill or fair competition.

The game has become increasingly focused on monetization, and long-term players are frequently placed at a disadvantage unless they spend money. Strategic decisions seem less important than hidden balancing mechanisms that influence results behind the scenes.

What started as a fun tank game has turned into a frustrating experience where fairness and transparency appear to be secondary concerns. I can no longer recommend this game to serious players.

### 1/5 — Gets worse and worse

*2026-05-09, version 4.12.0*

Don’t bother with this game. Played it for years. Developers respond about how they don’t favor certain players, but ask anyone who’s played more than two months and ALL will say Chinese and Russian players have an advantage over everyone else. On the Discord channel, Admins suggest using VPN or ”speed boosters” to improve game play. This is the only game that promotes third party apps for basic functionality. Game goes down about every other week for “essential server maintenance”, totaling 93 hours of scheduled maintenance in 2025. This time doesn’t include the hours the game goes down for unscheduled maintenance.

### 1/5 — Match up are BS

*2026-05-09, version 4.12.0*

Last game was 4300 to 60 who wants to play game like that

### 1/5 — Chinese cheaters

*2026-05-09, version 4.12.0*

Game sucks Chinese are allowed to cheat. Never fair fights. They manipulate the game. Do not spend money on it.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2026-05-08, version 4.12.0*

Fix your fair game mode and stop supporting only Chinese players!

### 1/5 — МОШЕННИКИ!!!

*2026-05-02*

Сначала снизили цену, все прикупились даже те кто раньше никогда не покупал. Потом ой мы ошиблись с ценами. Все отняли, даже командирских жетонов меньше вернули, подрезали чертежи других танков, камней, время со столба, стрелки на открытие техно не вернули. Компенсации в итоге никакой!!! Одни убытки получились. ПРОБЛЕМА ЦЕН ЭТО ВАША ПРОБЛЕМА!!!! В общем настоящие МОШЕННИКИ . Сделали специально что бы побольше народу сделали покупки, вытащили даже не с донатеров, а с простых людей которые поверили в их цены. В итоге откатили игру обратно и ВСЕХ КИНУЛИ.. Все приобретали что им надо. Можно было бы и компенсировать за счет других чертежей, ресурсов. Игра очень глючная она даже не стоит того что мы приобрели якобы по низким ценам. Я В АХУЕ НАД ЭТОЙ КОНТОРОЙ!!!!

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, командир! По вопросу, который вы описали, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами через игру: зайдите в «Настройки» → «Канал поддержки», и наши сотрудники помогут вам решить проблему. Благодарим за понимание и поддержку нашей игры!

### 1/5 — 中華に有利なゲーム

*2026-05-01*

所詮、中華製で隠れる資金援助は中華のみに受ける。運営の闇チームも存在すると中華チームに噂が流れてる。課金しても勝てない仕組み。

**Developer response:** これはあくまでゲームです。政治や地域的な意味合いと関連付けないでください。ゲーム内で問題が発生した場合は、カスタマーサポートまでご連絡ください。よろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — Progress

*2026-08-12*

Game is fun again ! Have played for over 6 years and got up as far as I could. All the way and no more to go. Then I left the game to play IronForce11. After playing it for a while I decided to come back and play the original IronForce. Logged in and found out my account was gone . Started up again at the bottom. Have kept the tank they give you for free and have managed to almost get enough diamonds to get a decent tank . They will only allow you to buy a tank that costs 3200 gems without any shards. That’s what I’m thinking of doing. Still have about 700 gems to save up. The point is I’m having fun again.   PS regarding your response I appreciate your feedback. But one of my sons bought me a new iPad and thought he was doing the right thing by deleting everything on my old iPad because of security concerns. Our mistake so not your fault thank you for your help sorry for the confusion.

**Developer response:** Dear Commander, thank you for your love and support for the game! Regarding your previous account that you mentioned is missing, we would like to clarify that if you have not voluntarily deactivated your account, it will not disappear.

### 5/5 — Starting over ( Update )

*2026-06-26, version 4.13.0*

Game is fun believe it or not. I have the tank the game gives you. Play almost every single time bots. They are strong but you learn how to navigate. Have almost 8 million dollars and over a 1000 gems. Starting small and staying small. Actually having some fun 😉👍Just passed over 10 million in funds and 1580 gems with a Hydro! This is fun if you like playing mostly bots! Love it.

My Account . Went to sign in and my account was not there. Asked for help from the help option. Could be that I have been playing IronForce11 without playing IronForce. Very disappointed that they want me to start from the beginning. Check my achievements and you can see I have accomplished all of them. Imagine the good publicity you could receive if you chose to help me and others that legitimately deserve your consideration by just doing the right thing. I really appreciate your company post this. Proves you are legitimately a good company. Thank you! I am choosing to change my rating to 5 Stars for your honest posting. Now that I am actually starting over in the game it’s not so bad.Been playing now and I actually enjoy starting over! Now I know what tanks are ok and what tanks are totally a waist of time. I actually have the tank the game has given me for free and am fine with only using it . No spending real money just spending my time on it for fun. Thank you for your response I appreciate it. My son wiped the iPad clean and traded it in. That was the only device the game was ever on so it’s my fault sorry for the confusion. Starting the game again has proven a lot of fun. But at least I have achieved the highest level before the game was deleted.

### 5/5 — Iron Farce

*2026-04-21*

Matchups are so bad now for small tanks. It’s ridiculous. I play. Every day and pay money every month and this is what they come up with as soon as my diamonds are gone I’m out.

**Developer response:** Hi Commander, thank you for your feedback. We have received it and shared it with our technical team. A brand new battle mode will be introduced in a future update, which will effectively address the issue you've brought to our attention. Stay tuned!
